This conference will bring together a number of leading German and American philosophers to discuss the interpretation and significance of Kant’s conception of an intuition, with special reference to the readings of Kant on this issue put forward by Wilfrid Sellars, Robert Pippin, and John McDowell, and with special attention to the following three questions: (1) what is an intuition?, (2) what role, if any, do our conceptual capacities play in the constitution of intuitions?, and (3) what significance do Kant’s answers to questions (1) and (2) have for contemporary debates in the philosophy of perception?

Core participants:

Matthew Boyle

James Conant
